pretty good!! i pumped it up with some ginger and red pepper flakes after tasting it. marinated for an hour, and then grilled it outside on a flame. I'm not sure the marinade did much for the fish as a marinade, but it was stellar as a topping! I served it with cilantro black beans and sliced baked sweet potato. Next time I might just grill the fish seasoned only with dry ingredients so it is nice and carmelized, then use this recipe as a topping for the fish and beans! Thanks so much for sharing...

    This has a very different sauce than I am used to using on fish, but it is very tasty. Next time I will up the chiles and garlic, I thought it would be spicer. Also, it makes a huge amount of marinade, enough for at least two meals, might try it on chicken breasts.

    OK this is a recipe that I didn't read the directions! I just put all the marinade into the vita mix and pureed. Placed in fridge to chill while I pan fried the lightly seasoned fish stove top. And served on a pool of the "dressing." Yes, I said dressing! This was Fabulous! My DH had and still doesn't know there was 2 mangos in this dressing. This fish would be great served on a bed of wilted spinach or fresh baby greens. But this recipe does make a lot of marinade for the amount of fish. So save some on the side for your salads. Sharon This will most definitely be made aging the way the directions state. Thanks Sharon!

    So easy and simply devine. I added a small amount of ginger which added to the tropical flavors of this fish. Also used a white balsamic vinegar to maintain the orange hue while including balsamic which I prefer to cider vinegar. There is tons of sauce here so next time I may reserve some to prepare with chicken. Thanks!
